Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Ecus to carry out a programme of archaeological trial trenching in advance of a proposed solar farm on a single parcel of land at Tower Hayes Farm, Stanton Under Bardon, Leicestershire centred on National Grid Reference SP 44403 10308. The Site had been subject to a Desk-based Assessment and a geophysical survey. The survey had identified geophysical anomalies, although these were considered to be consistent with former 19th century field boundaries and modern agricultural activity. Following discussions between Ecus and the Senior Planning Archaeologist for Leicestershire County Council a programme of archaeological evaluation comprising twenty-five 30 m trenches was agreed in order to test the validity of the geophysical survey by targeting geophysical anomalies and 'blank' areas. The archaeological evaluation has been successful in identifying the anomalies and verifying the 'blank' areas identified during the geophysical survey. All the features encountered during the evaluation could be matched to field boundaries depicted on late 19th century mapping of the site or were clearly modern in date. No archaeological features or artefacts predating the 19th century were encountered. |
